[Mailman-Users] Arch doesn't preserve from or subject

Greetings all.  I am in the process of converting all my mail lists from
majordomo to mailman.

I originally archived all my majordomo messages using Mhonarc, and now I'd
like to move them over to mailman (pipermail) archives.  I noticed that when
I run arch against old mailboxes, I have no problem converting them to the
new archives, however, I don't have all the original mail boxes for the
Mhonarc archives so I used mhn2mbox to create mboxes from the web archive.
The mbox recovers fine, but when I run arch against the recovered mbox, It
doesn't pick up the sender or subject.

Below is a comparison of two headers:

Original mbox header:

Here is a header from a mailbox recovered with mhn2mbox:

Any thought on why arch isn't picking up subject and sender?
